[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA is more like 13th grade judging from my DC's friends.  They are all still hanging out with the same people they did in high school.  Duke would allow your DC to meet people from all over the US and the world.   But kids from the WDC area are already pretty worldly, so it depends on your kid, what connections they have now, and their future plans.

I would not encourage anyone to go to Duke however after what the Gang of 88 did.  There's a Town and Gown problem in Durham, but there's also a faculty vs. student problem.  I can't speak for UVA, but my DC chose their school based on how supportive and encouraging the faculty members were at accepted students' weekend.    [/quote]

Sounds like sour grapes from someone whose kid didn't get into UVA.  I had two kids who went there, and yes they kept their high school friends and still do, but none of those friends actually [i]went[/i] to UVA.  My kids simply enjoyed high school and were extroverted with lots of friends -- the type of kids who end up thriving at UVA.  They made [i]other[/i] good friends there, from all over the country and world in fact.

Hahaha no my kid refused to apply to UVA -- to preppy and white.

Glad your kid is having a good experience there. [/quote]
